Black Nightfall

100/dry days, Bush/Semi-Runner. 100 dry days. Viny plant that I have grown on the ground with a degree of success. This bean will climb, and might be more productive if grown on some sort of support. Good production of 4-5" oval green pods with light purple streaking produce 4-6 seeds per pod. When seeds become mature thin walled easy to shell pods dry down rapidly. Seed is about 1/3 black that feathers into the white surfaces, and 2/3 white. Small oval, slightly kidney shaped, patterned similarly to the Gnuttle bean. The black begins at the hilar surface, as it rings the eye, and progresses to one end of the seed (as viewed from the seed's side), radiates out a small distance from where the seed halves would join, and wraps to the bottom surface of the seed opposite of the eye.
